Six Things You Didn't Know About Stephen King

2012-02-06T22:00:36Z

After 40 years of reading his books and seeing his movies, everyone thinks they know Stephen King. The majority of his stories are set in Maine because he's from there. Misery's partly based on an accident that left him for dead; an encounter with a mechanic's Saint Bernard produced Cujo. But there are probably things you don't know about this master of the macabre. For instance...

1. He'll Sell You the Rights to His Short Stories for $1
Are you an aspiring filmmaker who's a King fan? Well, you're in luck. The writer will let you adapt one of his short stories and the rights will only cost you a buck. He also asks that you send him a copy of the completed flick so he can add it to his shelf of other "Dollar Babies."

2. He Made a Music Video With Michael Jackson
In the mid-'90s, the King of Pop teamed up with the King of Horror to make Ghosts, a 40-minute video in which angry villagers assail Jackson for corrupting their children. After Jackson's death, King wrote about the whole experience for Entertainment Weekly.

Breaking Bad Season 4 Interviews With Vince Gilligan and A Couple Members of the Crew

2012-02-06T15:00:01Z

A great way to go deeper into Breaking Bad's fourth season is to check out three exclusive interviews with series creator Vince Gilligan as well as a couple of interviews with various members of the Breaking Bad crew. Below is a sample of what they had to say -- click on their names to read the full interview.

• "I just think it's absolutely wonderful that so many smart people like the show and are watching it and combing through it for the most minute details. I never believed the show would even go on the air in the first place!" -- Vince Gilligan (Series Creator) in Part I of his interview

• "Anyone who is a showrunner on a TV show is a control freak to a certain extent, but the truth is you have to allow other people into your creative process. You'd be a fool not to." -- Vince Gilligan (Series Creator) in Part II of his interview

• "I want Breaking Bad to end as it began, with people engaged and confounded by it." -- Vince Gilligan (Series Creator) in Part III of his interview

• "There is no one on this show wearing a white hat or a black hat... no heroes or villains. So the hard part [when writing music for the show] is identifying and then expressing the right shades of gray." -- Dave Porter (Composer)

• "You never think things [like Heisenberg's pork pie hat] are going to become so iconic, but they really did.  " -- Kathleen Detoro (Costume Designer)
